Catalyst23 - our innovation and design conference
Building on the success of last year, our innovation and design conference is back on Thursday September 28th. #Catalyst23 will support you on your journey to deliver commercial and cultural change through best-practices in innovation and design. No sponsors. No sales pitches. The focus will be on real-world innovation and design: how to create future products and services in complex and changing environments, while growing and nurturing your teams, and yourself.
Because connection is key
When we came up with the conference, not only did we want to create the first of its kind for design and innovation leaders, but we wanted to ensure that the conference allowed time to network and build connections throughout the day. The format will be the same as last year, with small networking groups in-between practical keynote sessions allowing time for debate and inspiration to fill the room.
This year, we have the following keynote speakers:
Ian Crawford and Dougie Pender, Innovation Delivery Leads, Natwest Innovation & Partnerships
Dr. Vian Sharif, Head of Sustainability, FNZ
Neil Wardrop, Head of Product Design, YouView TV
Joanna Howes, CEO and Founder, The Change Creators
Nathan Fulwood, Founder & Strategy Director, CreateFuture
Engaging facilitated roundtable discussions
Between keynote sessions, we’ll host sharp and productive 20 minute discussions with an experienced facilitator on some of the most pressing topics our attendees face.
The day will take place at Youth’s ImagineX Space, 68-70 Queen, Edinburgh, between 10 AM - 5 PM.
Sign ups so far include innovation and design leaders from Sage, Penguin Random House, Scottish Southern Energy, Experian & Scottish Care. With only 20 carefully curated places available, book your ticket today on our website.
